Winner announced on Friday, with the Strat shipping out from NJ either that day or the following Monday, which means you’d have it in your hands, ready to play, by Labor Day.

That’d be a nice 3-day weekend. Now if you don’t have an amp to plug it into, well, you can visit ActiveMusician’s guitar amp section or perhaps wait for the next giveaway, coming soon.

“This year,” Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio said, “this one’s for me. The one we picked, I’m going to get more out of this as a musician than I ever have before. Three songs into it, I called everybody and told them, ‘None of the other ones – I wouldn’t think, hopefully – will have nearly the effect on my playing this one’s going to.’ ”
